Tamiya 58618 Retro Monster Beetle 1/10 2WD Off-Road Kit  [58618]

Return of the Classic Tamiya Monster Beetle 58618

The Tamiya Monster Beetle 58618 makes a stylish comeback, mixing 1980s off-road charm with updated engineering. This assembly kit offers a satisfying build experience for enthusiasts who like a bit of retro styling with reliable performance.

What Gives the Beetle Its Appeal

The body captures the familiar Volkswagen Beetle silhouette in paintable polystyrene that is tough and easy to customise. The included driver figure and period styling add character, making the model enjoyable to both build and display.

Suspension Designed for Trail Fun

Under the body sits a rugged space frame and four-wheel independent suspension tuned to handle rough ground. CVA oil dampers and a resin front bumper help absorb impacts so the car stays composed across uneven terrain.

Proven Powertrain and Traction

Drive comes from a standard 540 motor paired with an electronic speed controller for smooth throttle control. Large 130mm diameter, 58mm wide lug pattern pin spike tyres deliver grip on loose surfaces, while the sealed gearbox with differential limits wear from dirt.

The Tamiya Monster Beetle 58618 blends classic looks with practical engineering, making it a rewarding kit for builders who want vintage style with capable off-road handling.
